Culture thrives incandescent A white gull perched across it’s breast Sea-like words rafting verbs Drawing repetitious movements Siren of a mermaid watchful Moments of beauty and hope Fleeting, like the dance of a monarch Growing social laced collars lyrical Inside the rain I let go of a mortal world Cooling flesh in the ocean A place we find, when we close our eyes Standing beside substance Like the scent of a tangerine Segments of depth-change Rehearsing the storehouse of quiet space Living with an on-going hum of silence It is the culture of brotherhood With a few more steps & crowds Having seeds of stillness Like it’s supposed to Inspirational backdrops Playful motivations of melody Round dancing earth I stand there alone with the moon Soft in sacred twilight air In the middle of this sea It’s so good to be here For a moment I’m a first grader again The mermaid winks liquid words Flooding the darkest corners of soul With a smiling circle Clan to this corn Many thanks to anyone and everyone, who has ever touched my life Even in the smallest ways are giant waves... |

Lee, I do believe that this may be one of my favourites of your poems that I have had the privilege of reading!  May you continue to be blessed with special people in your life!   Linda |

"I let go of a mortal world Cooling flesh in the ocean A place we find, when we close our eyes Standing beside substance Like the scent of a tangerine Segments of depth-change" ...... "I stand there alone with the moon Soft in sacred twilight air In the middle of this sea It’s so good to be here" loved these parts here....wonderful.  |

But it takes someone like you, a kind and generous person to notice, and then be grateful. You Lee J… Yep, “DA-BOMB” P.S. (And I’m heading out to Vegas) Got $10.00 to put down on red. JL |

Strange, how we have come from the sea, just to find salt of the earth type poems, like this one. Enjoyed it so much, Lee. Thank you. |

LeeJ, "A place we find when we close our eyes" what a fine place indeed. This one takes me to that place, thanks for that! adagio |

stand there alone with the moon Soft in sacred twilight air In the middle of this sea It’s so good to be here For a moment I’m a first grader again a little girl and her moon, who would need anything else??? you brought me back to center with this lovely offering |
